RED SARA says:
      "i heard some talk about a flag themed critical mass for feb.
   flags fit into the air theme. pehaps we should focus on flags?"

TIE IT to your bike!
dream of a new nation where mobility and freedom are more valuable than car 
commericals. dream of the anti-nation where people meet spontaneously in 
the street and don't ask for permission to celebrate. bring flags of every 
colour symbolic of our diversity, flags for the nationless. short flags, 
tall flags and long flowing streamers... flags are something easy to make 
that have a big impact - fluttering coloured flags - so animated. flags 
bring the air to life like we do.

let's
CELEBRATE our freedom machines
RECLAIM the streets for people
UNFURL our hopes for clean air
